"You failed to answer my question, where is justice in the Islamic scheme of God's dealing with men?" Like I said. Someone more scholarly might be better to ask than me. I did my best. One after thought however. In Islamic teachings it is commonly said that God does not judge our deeds as they rarely, if ever, stand up in the light of Goodness. God does note our intentions for goodness and righteousness as well as our patience and faith. If a man is rushing to the hospital to save a child and unintentionally causes the death of a neighbor in an auto accident while speeding off what is he? Sinful, dumb for speeding, reckless, thoughtless, good for saving the child? The court might find him guilty of manslaughter but in hearing the circumstance and his pleas be merciful in sentencing. In his heart he may have been hateful toward the neighbor that was hit in the accident and intended to hurt him. The court does not have a way to know. Islam teaches that sins that are hidden or go unpunished on Earth are punished in eternity and that rewards that are not granted on Earth are granted in eternity. That eternal justice is vastly superior to Earthly justice. God's Justice is perfect. God's mercy is unlimited. I can't explain the mystery of the why and how of it with out being God.
